There's a recession? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Doesn't seem like it. $25 an hour jobs for skilled labor are everywhere. Iron workers, Longshormen and concrete unions are heavily recruiting.
Construction industry is booming, Boeing is hiring, National Forest is hiring for summer and road repair season just started. Gas went down 10 cents this weekend.

If anything there's a surplus of blue collar jobs.

Of course those idiots at Yahoo blew thier stockholders chance to get rich this weekend so as thier stock plummets from $32 to $15 a share there will definitly be some layoffs.
Not the fault of the ecomnomy, just greedy executives with fat severance packages already drawn up.
